SUBMARINE WAR (MAY INFLUENCE

‘DEBATE IN U.S.

: r {Torpedoing of Neutral Ships Likely to Have Bearing Here, Simms Says.

By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Times Foreign Editor 27.~The

WASHINGTON, Sept. torpedoing of four neutral ships over the week-end, possibly ushering in a new period of unrestricted submarine warfare, may have some ‘bearing on the neutrality debate here. As our neurality act now stands, only implements of war are listed in the President's mandatory embargo. Practically all else, compris-

ing an enormous majority of our| 3%

exports, not only can be sold to the] warring nations at will but may be |# shipped abroad in American ships. |® That is to sdy, as the President |#

pointed out in his special message |

to Congress, the law now forbids the sale of guncotton but not cotton; of shellcasings but not the copper tubing from which the Shells are made; of airplanes, but not of oil without which an airplane could not leave the ground. And so on.

| Present Embargo Attacked

' Of America’s potential exports to Europe, it is estimated that only about 10 per cent are now affected by the embargo. For this reason, those who favor the President's neutrality formula contend that the existing arrangement is more dangersus to the

.” peace of .the United States than the

system proposed by the Administration, namely that: all exports,

be sold on a cash-and-carry basis thereby keeping American goods and American ships out of the war zone entirely along with American nationals. * Under the present neutrality law the President has proclaimed certain exports contraband, namely implements of war. The Belligerents, however, have their own’ lists,

} Take Wide Latitude »

Great ~ Britain has defined contraband as ‘neutral property found on hoard ship either on the high geas, or in the territorial waters of either belligerent, which is by nature capable of being used to assist

- in, and is on its way to assist in,

the naval or military operations of the enemy.” ‘ The Germans have accepted a somewhat similar definition. Under it, practically any commodity may become contraband if a belligerent $0 proclaims it. In 1914, Britain declared rubber and a whole list of other things contraband. Today the belligerents already have indicated that their contraband lists would include practically everything, hence will shortly publish a list of what is not contraband. So the 90 per cent of our exports «which ‘are not incuded in the President’s embargo, and may therefore be shipped to Europe 'in American vessels—may nevertheless be sent to the bottom of . the ocean because the lists of the belligerents do not now correspond with ours.

DENIES VIOLATION OF RADIO STATUTE

WMCA, New York, said today at a Federal Communications Commission hearing that the station had rebroadcast messages sent to British and German ships, but they denied that they had violated the Communications Act since the messages were not secret.’ /The Commission had accused the station of unlawfully intercepting foreign government messages.
